Working Thru It.

Image
  Working thru it. Yes, I said work, lol. You know, the process of sorting through an issue to achieve peace in the midst of it. This blog began as diary. No one read it. It was just me, working through stuff in a manner that held me accountable. It was published, open to the world, even though no one read it, till they did. So here I am working through an issue.  I have adult sons with wives, and grandchildren, an adult daughter with a husband, and grandchildren. We only celebrate Thanksgiving together each year. As my husband and I walk out our faith, we celebrate the Biblical Holy Days in lieu of Christmas and Easter. So I never expect to see my family on those traditional Christian holidays. Both of my daughters in law celebrate those holidays and come from families that do as well. It's been a good system till this year. This year...they are giving Thanksgiving to the in laws too. Zero holidays spent with us. I have to say, I'm working thru it.  The tempter was quick...

Sukkot 2026

Image
  Leviticus 23: 34-36, Leviticus 23: 42-43, Deuteronomy 16: 13-15,  Zechariah 14:16 Joyous. It's what we eagerly anticipate each year. A homecoming.  If you haven't experienced attending this Feast of Sukkot in a group setting, you must. This is our 4th year with this same group. We've developed relationships that we continue to nurture, and it's my prayer each year to make a new connection with a fellow believer from our Forever (4eva) Family . This year I met a young lady known as Abigail, who is now my bonus granddaughter. We also met a lady who flew in from Canada and her brother from France, Angelic and Marc, a set of brothers who reside in the area, another lady who is passing thru this area but stopped for Sukkot. I think her name is Parker. Quite a few people who are currently living in the area, or are soon to be. These last few days of the feast, I am having conversations and trading contact information with some ladies, Katie and Barbara, who I can totally re...

Read the Fine Print- w/updated reference

Image
  I do not advise a Disciple of Yahusha/Jesus to get their doctrine or comprehension of the Holy Scriptures from Judaism. Holy Mackerel, if Yahusha reprimanded them constantly throughout His earthly ministry, and He did, why would you follow anything they say or do without question? Is it because we know our Messiah is/was Jewish? Let's clear it up a little. He was born into the Tribe of Judah, as was prophesied. But He didn't practice Judaism the religion. The religious leadership and practices of the Jerusalem temple were far from His Father's Instructions, it was twisted, added to, and taken away from...distorted. The priesthood was corrupt, again, they couldn't intercede for the people. An Atoning Savior and Incorruptible High Priest was needed, and provided. So, don't just blindly accept something because your brother Judah is involved. He's been wrong before. Just saying.  So let's talk Noahide Laws. I know everyone is freaked out about Sharia law, but...

Is it a Takeover or a Falling Away?

Image
Is it a take over? Or a falling away? Hagia Sophia was built between 532 and 537AD as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Istanbul, Turkey. It was converted into a mosque following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453. The Chora Church was originally built between 330 and 336 AD as a monastery, it first because a mosque during the Ottoman Era. It became a museum in 1945, and now a mosque again, since 2020. Church buildings repurposed as mosques isn't new. And I'm positive that the symbolism isn't an accident, it sends a message of conquest. In modern times, across Europe and now North America, churches are being converted to mosques as well. And the symbolism isn't lost on the current Christian population. While there is no official exact count, the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding tracked 3,100+ churches in the US have been converted to mosques. But why?  Dwindling Christian congregations and local church closures have led to empty buildings being s...

All I Want For My Child is...

Image
  I was just watching a video. It's of a father being interviewed, he is looking at a photo of his son as a child. That same son, now "transitioned" to a female was sitting next to him. The father's eyes welled up with tears, his voice cracked as he struggled to answer the question proposed to him. "What are you feeling as you look at this photo?" He shook his head slowly, blinking the tears away. "Is this what you wanted for your child?" Holding back a sob, he said,  "I only wanted my child to be happy." It got me to thinking. I might be a bad mom,  I don't recall ever praying for my children's happiness. I have prayed for their health.  I have prayed for them to make good choices, wisdom. I have fasted and prayed for divine intervention when necessary. But more than anything I pray daily for my children, grandchildren, in laws, and all bonus family. My clan, tribe, or pack, if you will. I pray that each of them has their name wr...

Do You Feel That?

Image
  I got that woosey-pit-of-my-stomach feeling again. It's been about a week now. I have come along way in understanding what this feeling is. It comes out of nowhere. I know something is not right. To what degree something is wrong, I can't tell. But it is spiritual. It could be something in the natural as well, but whatever it is has caused a ripple in the Spirit.  Up till fairly recently I just didn't understand what was going on, so I brushed it off. I'd go through the check list: #1 have I said or done something that is an unrepentant offense? #2 is everyone in the family ok? #3 How about outside the family? #4 Have I forgotten something important? #5 I ask Yah, show me if it's within me. #6 I check the world events, is there a tragedy? A flood? A hurricane? An earthquake? Multiple earthquakes? Sometimes I get a sense I've nailed it, but other times I have to wait, seek His Word, and wait. I have come to see that it's a Spiritual Gift, if I wait I will k...

Eat Some Meat

Image
Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  It's not a salvation issue!!!  Have you heard that one? Only a billion times, lol. Calling attention to continued sin by believers is not well received. Listen, it's not that obeying the dietary restrictions, Sabbath, Holy Days, or any of the instructions are "salvation issues", but they are, for sure, discipleship issues. Yahusha appears to be concerned about even the least of the instructions in Matthew 5:7  Anyone who breaks even the least of the Law of Moses and teaches people not to do what it says, will be ca...
